Materialise

During the Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA) in September, a very unique 3D printed dress was unveiled. Designed by Anouk Wipprecht in collaboration with .MGX designer Niccolὸ Casas, and 3D printed by Materialise, the “Smoke Dress” automatically creates a veil of smoke whenever someone enters the personal space of the wearer. The dress was brought to life as part of a special eight-piece collection for Volkswagen, and was showcased in a series of runway shows at their IAA booth.

Photovoltaic Cells Devices which produce electricity directly from sunlight are called photovoltaic cells. Efficiency of photovoltaic cells is universally acknowledged. Let us get acquainted with more of photovoltaic solar cells... If Physics amuses you, you must be knowing that photovoltaic (PV) cells are a phenomenal creation by man that have immensely contributed to saving global resources. In simple terms, photovoltaic cells are nothing but a cluster of cells put together, forming a solar panel, converting sunlight into electricity.

Vacuum insulated panel A vacuum insulated panel (VIP) is a form of thermal insulation consisting of a nearly gas-tight enclosure surrounding a rigid core, from which the air has been evacuated. It is used in building construction to provide better insulation performance than conventional insulation materials.

Safari Chrome Features AlusionTM – the various versions of stabilized aluminum foam can be used for external and internal panels as well as a myriad of other applications. Panels are available in three standard thicknesses– 12.7mm (½"), 25.4mm(1") and 43.2mm(1.7") and two densities – small cell(X%) and large cell(Y%). The higher the density, the smaller the cell size and the heavier and more robust the material is. There are five basic versions of AlusionTM. They are: AlusionTM SAF has been used in the following applications:

Hempcrete Can Change The Way We Build Everything ~ Why Don't You Try This? CNN report on eco friendly sustainable hemp house built in Asheville, NC. Benefits include carbon negative construction, breathability, and reduced cost of heating and cooling. Imagine you had a building material that was energy-efficient, non-toxic and resistant to mold, insects and fire. The material may even have a higher R-value, or thermal resistance, than concrete, a claim that is still being investigated. The only problem?

ARC - Architectural Freeform Structures from Single Curved Panels Complex freeform structures are one of the most striking trends in contemporary architecture. So far, design and manufacturing of such structures are based on digital technologies which have been developed for other industries (automotive, naval, aerospace industry). Architecture differs from these traditional target industries of CAD/CAM technology in many ways including aesthetics, statics, structural aspects, scale and manufacturing technologies. Manufacturing architectural freeform structures requires the segmentation into panels, which may be either flat, single curved or double curved. In the present research project, we investigate the problem of building architectural freeform structures from single curved panels.
